Other names :
Amyl Salicylate ; Pentyl 2-hydroxybenzoate ; Pentyl ortho-hydroxybenzoate ; Pentyl salicylate ; Rhodiaflor SoA
Volatility :
Heart/Base
Uses in perfumery :
Amyl Salicylate is used in white flowers, carnation, fougere, ambery and vanillic notes.
Natural availability :
Amyl Salicylate is present in trace amounts in Osmanthus Absolute. It can therefore be extracted, but it is mostly the synthetic compound that is used in perfumery.
Year of discovery :
Initially marketed under the name Trefol, Amyl Salicylate was first used in the perfume Trèfle Incarnat - L.T. Pivert (1898)
First synthesized in 1854 by reaction of salycile chloride with amyl alcohol by Drion et al.
Other comments :
Isoamyl Salicylate has a more metallic and fruity aspect, while Amyl Salicylate has a pronounced jasmine note.
It is one of the most powerful salicylates.

Synthesis route :
Like other Salicylates, Amyl Salicylate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between salicylic acid and amyl alcohol (or pentenol). This reaction is catalysed by the presence of a strong concentrated acid such as sulfuric acid in the reaction medium.
Synthesis precursor :
Amyl Salicylate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
PhenoxyEthyl IsoButyrate is a constitutional isomer of Amyl Salicylate. It smell is closer to rose than jasmine, and is not solar.
